(Recommended Ticket, Ask for Ticket ~~)

Guided by the towing beam, the shuttle slowly docked into the No. 2 apron of the scientific research spacecraft.

After the hatch was closed and the air pressure value returned to normal, Clappen, who looked sad, led Tang Fang and the others down the shuttle.

The personnel in charge of receiving the wounded first took the three wounded to the infirmary for treatment, Tang Fang and the others were arranged to rest in the living quarters, and Clappen was led by the adjutant to the bridge to meet Joanna.

Along the way, all the soldiers and engineers on the ship, as well as the scientific researchers who had retreated from the ground base, all looked worried.

The entire base was occupied by aliens, and there were not one out of ten combatants, and no one could be happy to hear such a loss.

Of course, this doesn't include Hausen and Byron, who almost killed them. In this turbulent situation, the smoke of gunpowder is permeated, and once the confrontation is either you die or I die, fools worry about the life and death of the enemy.

Tang Fang, Byron, Aros, and Hausen were arranged in a room of less than 20 square meters. Two bunk beds, a multi-functional terminal workbench and a swivel chair are all furnishings in the room.

Hausen tore off his bloodstained combat uniform, threw it in the corner, rolled over to the top bunk and fell asleep. Aros slipped the only cigar under his pillow and turned to walk out of the room to pee in the toilet. Byron sat on a bed in the lower bunk, wondering what he was thinking.

As for Tang Fang, he sat on the swivel chair and casually called out the personal communication terminal on the workbench.

There is an email from Lector, the time of sending the letter is a day ago, the sender Tang Lin, click on it casually, it is a video material.

Tang Lin appeared on the picture screen with a happy face: "Brother, I have good news for you, I have passed the entrance exam of the Lanna Military Academy." ”

"Hehe, after graduation, maybe I'll become your superior, hahahaha."

……

"Also, Xiao Yun and I are fine, don't read it."

After watching this video, which was only one and a half minutes long, Tang Fang couldn't help but smile, and he was relieved to know that the two of them were safe and sound.

Duke Yadan of Lector Star and the Wei family have never dealt with each other very much, which is well known in the empire, Tang Lin was admitted to the Lanna Military Academy, and Tang Yun's school is a boarding system, so there is no danger in coming.

"He's your brother?" Byron's voice came from behind him.

Tang Fang glanced back at him: "Not bad." ”

Byron was silent for a moment and said, "I want to ask you for a favor." ”

"Help?"

"Yes, help!"

……

After a while, after listening to his narration, Tang Fang nodded unconsciously.

It turned out that Byron wanted to escape from the ship. Although when he was on the shuttle, Clapone was grateful to the Tang side for saving his life, and swore that he would do his best to save the lives of Byron, Aros and others, but according to the current situation, he lost his base, and he was still too busy to take care of himself, so how to ensure their safety.

What's more, Byron is a famous pirate leader, unlike Aros and Hausen, whether his life can be left or not, and where can a major decide.

"Okay." Tang Fang pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

A smile appeared on Byron's face, and he thanked him very sincerely.

"I'll ask Zhou Ai and Eva if they want to leave with you, and when Aros comes back, you can ask him what he means." After speaking, Tang Fang pushed the door and walked out of the room.

Zhou Ai and Eva's room was on the other side of the research ship, and after some inquiry, they found the two, and Eva couldn't wait to follow Byron to leave, and Zhou Ai didn't know what to think about, so he nodded and agreed.

Tang Fang and the second daughter set the time and place of the connection, and said goodbye and left.

When he walked into the room, Aros had already returned from the toilet, and the last cigar was put to his lips, and he was licking it without a mouthful, his movements were gentle, and his expression was ecstatic.

Tang Fang suddenly wanted to laugh, he thought of a hypothesis very evilly, if Aros was not a man, but a young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, what a loving scene it would be!

"It's easy to steal the space shuttle, but how do you break through the Imperial border checkpoint?" Aros didn't notice the strange smile on the other kid's face and asked with a frown.

"Don't worry about this, I have my own way." Byron replied with a smile.

Aros nodded: "That's good...... I choose to stay! ”

Tang Fang and Byron were stunned for a moment, and Haosen, who was on the top bunk, sat up, touched his bald head like a vibrating egg and said, "I will stay too." ”

"Why?" Tang Fang looked at Aros, then at Hausen, and asked in a deep voice.

"There's no why, I don't want to." Aros said lightly, but after all, he still couldn't hold back his addiction to smoke and lit the last cigar.

As for Hausen, his brows were furrowed as if he was pulling his pants, but it took a long time to hold back a very irrelevant answer: "I owe you a life." ”

"Do you owe me my life?" Tang Fang couldn't laugh or cry, how could this Haosen be like a big girl in a romance drama, with a tone of "If you look at my body, you will be responsible for me".

"I don't care about that, unless you go with him." After saying that, this guy also followed the example of Aros and stopped talking.

Tang Fang looked at the two of them, and shook his head a little helplessly, these two are like fart!

"Yes, why don't you go with you."

Tang Fang shook his head and did not speak. Byron and them are alone, they can just go, they don't have any burden, but he is different, and there are younger brothers and sisters, if they really want to leave, who will take care of them? Not to mention the Empire's system of punishment.

Seeing this, Byron sighed and fell silent, and the whole room returned to peace.

……

In a blink of an eye, the four of them walked out of the room and came to the agreed place to meet Zhou Ai and Eva, and then rushed to the hangar of the scientific research ship separately.

After the shocking scene earlier, most of the people who escaped from Planet 5 had already fallen asleep, and the staff of the research ship also went back to their rooms to rest after completing the containment work, and there was no one else in the entire Hangar 2 except for a few mechanics who were doing routine maintenance work.

Very easily knocked unconscious mechanics, Byron, Zhou Ai, and Eva got into a "Horizon"-class cosmic shuttle.

Hausen and Aros initiate the launch process, the hatch slowly opens, and the landing gear rises vertically, putting the shuttle into the ejection trajectory.

After the countdown was completed, the instantaneous burst of magnetic energy propelled the shuttle to shoot away, and the dark blue tail flame of the thruster ignited most of the tarmac. Through the lookout window of the control room, Tang Fang saw Zhou Ai in the shuttle cabin turn around, waved at him, and said a word, looking at the lip shape, it should be a "thank you".

The shuttle is like a thunderbolt, rushing into the deep and vast cosmic space, and gradually disappearing.

Seeing that the little red dot on the lidar suddenly disappeared without a trace, Tang Fang knew that Byron had started the warp engine and entered the virtual space-time. At the same time, a team of guards was also ushered in outside the control area.

Fifteen minutes later, Tang Fang, Aros, and Hausen were escorted to the bridge.

The entire bridge is brightly lit, and the system operators are methodically handling the work at hand. In front of the central control platform, Joanna, dressed in a captain's outfit, is reviewing the video data transmitted by the drone.

Clappen walked up to Tang with a cold face and said angrily: "What's the matter with that shuttle? ”

Tang Fang had already prepared his rhetoric, and replied unhurriedly: "Company commander, let them go free after the resource survey mission is over, this is what was said at the beginning." As free men, is there anything wrong with Byron and the three of them leaving on a shuttle? ”

After saying this, he leaned forward again, lowered his voice and said: "Company commander, you said before that you would do your best to save their lives, but to be honest, ...... as Byron"

He didn't go on, but Clappin knew what was going on. To be honest, with his identity, he may be able to barely keep Aros and Hausen, but Byron, he really doesn't have that ability.

"There's no way we can do that." Tang Fang sighed: "Actually, most of the people who know Byron's identity have died, as long as you don't say anything about this matter, once you ask about it, it will be said that he has been crushed under the siege of the alien, and he should be able to easily get away with it." ”

Clappen was stunned for a moment, looked him up and down several times, and snorted coldly: "Okay, you Tang Yan, they all say that you are honest and wooden, and when I look at it today, I really have a lot of ghost thoughts." ”

Tang Fang smiled dryly: "No way, this is all forced." ”

"Anyway, there's no excuse for you stealing the Horizon-class space shuttle." Clappen said with a gloomy face: "I'll deal with you when I'm done with the things at hand." ”

Tang Fang shrugged noncommittally, this is not a fatal crime, not to mention the future, who would have thought in what direction it would develop.

"Captain, space concussion detected." The staff responsible for monitoring the space environment around the research ship let out an exclamation.

At the same time, an orange-yellow circular flash lit up on the holographic stereoscopic projection of the central control station.

Joanna's moist face showed a look of surprise: "It's a subspace harmonic oscillation." ”

"Liaison officer, is there a request for contact from the military department?"

The liaison officer on the left turned around and said, "Report to the captain, the signal for help has only been sent for half an hour, and no matter how fast the military department reacts, it is impossible to respond in such a short time." ”

"Since there is no response from the military department, it means that this uninvited guest who will immediately leave the virtual time and space is not the Imperial fleet that came to support, who will it be?" Joanna's brow furrowed.

Just as she was hesitating whether to activate the defensive stance of the research ship, about a hundred kilometers away from the research ship, a military ship about 200 meters long and resembling a shark appeared in the cold and dark endless void.
